'''Mushroom World''' is the name of the planet [[Mario]] and his friends reside on. The planet is part of the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]], which is one of many [[Galaxy|galaxies]] in the [[Mushroom Universe]]. Mushroom World is the greater setting of most of the games in the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]] and sub-series.
The '''Mushroom World''' is an area with eight countries in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The [[Mushroom Kingdom]] serves as a gateway to these lands. In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', [[Bowser]]'s [[Koopalings]] have taken over the other seven kingdoms of the Mushroom World. They stole the [[Magic Wand]]s of the [[kings]] of each domain and transformed them into various creatures. While [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] eventually defeat them and restore the kings to normal, Bowser himself returns to the Mushroom Kingdom in their absence and kidnaps [[Princess Peach]] once again. He is later thwarted in [[Dark Land|his own territory]].


The [[Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Castle of Koopa (World)|Castle of Koopa]], and various other lands and kingdoms associated with the Mushroom Kingdom, such as [[Dinosaur Land]], the [[Beanbean Kingdom]], and [[Sarasaland]], all exist on the Mushroom World; and while it has never been made explicit, it is highly likely that locations from closely related series (such as the [[Donkey Kong (series)|''Donkey Kong'']] and ''[[WarioWare]]'' series) also exist on the Mushroom World.
While the Mushroom World originally seemed to exclude the Mushroom Kingdom,<ref>{{cite|language=en|quote=However, the Mushroom Kingdom forms an entrance to the Mushroom World, a place where not all is well.|date=2003|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet|page=21}}</ref> later uses of the term apparently count Princess Peach's sovereignty as well. In ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', it is stated during the ending that Mario and [[Yoshi]] departed from [[Jewelry Land]] to return to the Mushroom World, where the princess awaits them. Furthermore, "Mushroom World" is sometimes used to refer to the Mushroom Kingdom in ''[[Paper Mario]]''; the kingdom went under that name in the original Japanese script, but the English localization substituted most instances with the more common Mushroom Kingdom to fit the context.<ref>{{cite|publisher=FC2.com|language=ja|url=hakuda2.web.fc2.com/wario/mario/4.html|title=マリオストーリーの攻略★|accessdate=August 7, 2024}}</ref> Similarly, the Japanese version of the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] manual of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' uses "Mushroom World" to refer to Mario, Luigi, and Peach's homeland in a direct reference to ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', which was changed to "Mushroom Kingdom" in the official English localization.<ref>{{cite|url=www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~yamasai/story/s-supermarioworld.htm|title=スーパーマリオワールド|publisher=Biglobe|language=ja|accessdate=August 7, 2024}} A transcript of the Japanese ''Super Mario World'' manual showing the reuse of 「キノコワールド」 ''Kinoko Wārudo'' (Mushroom World) from ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.

==History==
===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the Mushroom World is divided into eight lands, seven of them with individual kings that were usurped by the seven Koopalings, and the eighth land, [[Dark Land]], being Bowser's home domain and the location of [[Bowser's Castle|his castle]]. The [[Warp Zone]] is considered World 9 in the game, but it is not confirmed to be an official part of the Mushroom World. Likewise, it is unknown where [[World-e]] is located.

Several small galaxies are in orbit around Mushroom World, including the [[Gateway Galaxy]], the [[Good Egg Galaxy]] and [[Bowser Jr.'s Robot Reactor]]. Galaxies relatively close to Mushroom World on the map of the universe include the [[Sky Station Galaxy]], [[Honeyhive Galaxy]], the [[Loopdeeloop Galaxy]] and the [[Yoshi Star Galaxy]].

The Mushroom World is the main setting in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.
Mushroom World and [[Earth]] are almost always believed to be separate planets, though confusion does exist in the form of remarkably similar ecosystems and terrains, several species of animals and obvious human populations on Mushroom World. In other media such as the various cartoon series and comics, [[wikipedia: Earth|Earth]] and Mushroom World were understood to be different versions of the same planet in separate universes, and Mushroom World was noticeably cartoony and slightly surreal (eg. [[Pasta Land]], [[Down Under Land]]). In most sources travel between the two planets is possible through warp pipes, a fact that has remained consistent throughout.

The Mushroom World is an area with eight countries in Super Mario Bros. 3. The Mushroom Kingdom serves as a gateway to these lands. In Super Mario Bros. 3, Bowser's Koopalings have taken over the other seven kingdoms of the Mushroom World. They stole the Magic Wands of the kings of each domain and transformed them into various creatures. While Mario and Luigi eventually defeat them and restore the kings to normal, Bowser himself returns to the Mushroom Kingdom in their absence and kidnaps Princess Peach once again. He is later thwarted in his own territory.

While the Mushroom World originally seemed to exclude the Mushroom Kingdom,[1] later uses of the term apparently count Princess Peach's sovereignty as well. In Yoshi's Safari, it is stated during the ending that Mario and Yoshi departed from Jewelry Land to return to the Mushroom World, where the princess awaits them. Furthermore, "Mushroom World" is sometimes used to refer to the Mushroom Kingdom in Paper Mario; the kingdom went under that name in the original Japanese script, but the English localization substituted most instances with the more common Mushroom Kingdom to fit the context.[2] Similarly, the Japanese version of the SNES manual of Super Mario World uses "Mushroom World" to refer to Mario, Luigi, and Peach's homeland in a direct reference to Super Mario Bros. 3, which was changed to "Mushroom Kingdom" in the official English localization.[3]

History[edit]

Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

In Super Mario Bros. 3, the Mushroom World is divided into eight lands, seven of them with individual kings that were usurped by the seven Koopalings, and the eighth land, Dark Land, being Bowser's home domain and the location of his castle. The Warp Zone is considered World 9 in the game, but it is not confirmed to be an official part of the Mushroom World. Likewise, it is unknown where World-e is located.

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show![edit]

The back of the The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! Volume 1 DVD box mentions that Mario and Luigi had been transported into the Mushroom World from Brooklyn.[4] However, as shown on other home video release boxes, this was mistaken for the Mushroom Kingdom, which is also alternatively referred to as "Mushroomland" in the cartoon itself and related comic series.

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

The Mushroom World is the main setting in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3.
